Seltzer

Seltzer is a fun summer tee that is ready for a pool-side book and a cute pair of sunglasses. Knit top-down and seamlessly, the slipped stitch pattern and twisted rib fly off the needles. This pattern also includes modifications for making a more full-coverage front.

Garment is designed to be worn with close to 2”/5 cm of negative ease. Choose a size that is around 2”/5 cm smaller than your bust. Sample is modeled in Size 3 with 2”/5 cm of negative ease.

335 (385, 445, 525) (590, 645, 735) (810, 865, 945) yards / 305 (350, 405, 480) (540, 590, 670) (740, 790, 865) meters worsted weight yarn. Shown in Kim Dyes Yarn Cannoli Worsted in Fig Compote - 100% superwash merino, 210 yards / 192 meters per 4 oz / 113 g skein.

This pattern works well for many types of yarn. The natural stretch of wool yarn helps with the snug collar, but cotton yarn can be used instead. I have suggested some stretchy cast ons and modifications in the pattern to help yield a bit more ease for those using cotton yarn.
